I build technology, make money, and have fun. I've been writing software since 2005 and leading engineering teams since 2015. Currently CTO at Octa and CEO at Fusioncat.

Octa is a fintech platform for small and medium businesses in the Middle East. We help companies manage invoices, track cash flow, and get paid faster. Passed $1M ARR in 2025 and growing. I run the technology side — product, engineering, infrastructure.
Fusioncat is a London-based OSS project and company. We build open-source tooling for event-driven architectures — making it easier to design, test, and operate systems built on Kafka, RabbitMQ, AWS SQS, and similar messaging infrastructure. Think of it as the missing control plane for async communications between software, AI, and devices.
Raterunner is pricing as code for SaaS. Define your billing plans in YAML, version them in Git, sync to Stripe or Paddle with a single CLI command. No more clicking through dashboards. Open-source core, works with any CI/CD pipeline.
I occasionally help VCs with due diligence and assist startups with their fundraising strategy. Occasionally, I also invest personally, writing checks of up to $150,000 through my venture arm.
I play bass guitar, compose music, and practice Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I have a wife, a son, a Shiba Inu, and an old hyperactive cat.
I founded Monite, an embedded fintech API platform. Took it from an idea to a funded company with 70+ people. Raised from top-tier investors, got covered in TechCrunch. Before Monite, I built Vokabee, an AI-powered language learning product for schools in Southeast Asia — grew it from zero to regional scale.

I wrote techleader.guide — a practical handbook for engineering managers and CTOs. No frameworks, no fluff. Just things that worked for me across multiple companies and markets.
I occasionally advise startups and investors on technology strategy, fundraising engineering team building, and technical due diligence. Just drop me a line.
